Complete waste of time and energy. No wonder why the hostmaster queue is so long these days ... ;->
Let's say... Halabi as compulsary lecture for hostmasters who have to evaluate ASN assignment policy compliance. :-)
Nope ... the policy evaulation must be kept as simple as possible: statement from both the customer itself, as well as at least 2 peers stated in the aut-num that there is a valid peering relationship in place must be enough to verify the policy. The customer must be asked first to update the aut-num. That same process is used when a new AS is assigned, so why invent something else for AS number usage evaluation? Of course, the problem of contacting the right party still exists. Regards, Beri
